GPS
Your phone has a GPS receiver that
uses satellite signals to calculate your
location.
If you cannot use some GPS features, see
I cannot use Internet-based services on
page 69.
Using GPS
Your location can be found when you
have a clear view of the sky. If your
location is not found after a few
minutes, move to another location. To
help the search, stand still and do not
cover the GPS antenna.
The first time you use the GPS it may take
up to 10 minutes before your location is
found.
Assisted start
With Assisted start your location is
calculated more quickly. If not turned
off, Assisted start will automatically be
used to find your location when
Assisted GPS (A-GPS) technology is
available.
To set when to use Assisted start
1
From standby select Menu >
Entertainment > Location services >
Settings > Assisted start.
